"i think chocolate is kind of like God's Word"

So this morning I woke up a little later than usual at around 9:40am. I have been trying to get in the habit of reading the Bible in the morning--which is always a mental battle since it usually comes down to READ vs. MORE SLEEP. Anyways, the hardest part was over, I was up! Just as I was about to reach for my Bible, something caught my eye, my Dove chocolate bar (with macadamia nuts).

Now, I should probably let you know that I am NOT a chocolate maniac. I mean, I love chocolate and all but I don't CRAVE chocolate like some people do. I mean, just type in "chocolate quotes" on Pinterest and you'll get some quotes people have posted...

 

 

Of course, I think it tastes good, but I'm not CRAZY about it.

 

Alrighty, back to my story. So my chocolate bar caught my eye and so I went for it! At first, I told myself that I was going to have a little piece but as I bit. But as I bit into the first chunk, it was SO delicious that I HAD to go for a second, and third, and ... Before I knew it, I was eating the last piece. The more I ate, the better it tasted!

As I was enjoying my chocolate bar, I remember thinking to myself, "Why don't I crave chocolate more?!?! It's SOOOO good!!!!" But then, a thought came in my mind, "Hmmm... chocolate is kind of like God's Word."

 

I think I often do not CRAVE God's Word because I don't realize or have forgotten how SWEET, delightful, wonderful it is! But when I do take the time to read it, I never regret it! It is filled with so much wisdom, comfort, and encouragement. So, that's a little fun reflection on my morning :)

 

For the record, I am NOT a choco-holic.

And also, if you're curious to know what chocolate bar I ate, here it is:
